G. Duda asked Kristin Cast:

Your suggestion about outlining each chapter make sense although my approach is totally different. I write mostly off the cuff. It just flows based on inspiration and I rarely know what the next paragraph is going to be. I'm as surprised and excited as to where the story goes as I hope the readers will be. It works for me. I guess my question is, do you know other successful authors that work that way?

Kristin Cast I don't personally know any authors who use that method, but that doesn't mean none do. I also don't want you to think you're doing something wrong, because you should 100% do what works for you. I surprise myself with what I end up writing too! Just because I have an outline doesn't mean my characters are going to follow it. They often end up doing their own thing, and I have to update my outline as I go.
Keep writing and good luck!
